Can they catch the iPad

There's more to the story...

Here's an interesting read on how Apple has created and cornered the market on the 1st generation of "Post PC Devices". Steve Jobs himself said in 2007that the original iPhone was five years ahead of its time.

Lots of discussion this week about how the new iPad's higher resolution display will render current lower definition images. We're all wondering how it will work with responsive techniques and code that measures display resolution.

The New iPad as a Super Hero

There's more to the story...

Friday post-lunch goofiness gave birth to a new superhero, forged from the leftover packaging on the shiny new iPad that's now sitting on @warrenwilansky's desk. (He's apparently taken a lesson or two from his little 2yo girl.)
